8.1.2.2 The Status Log Window

To select Status Log Window, use the up or down arrows to move to line B – Status Log and hit Enter
or type the letter the letter “B” and the PSO 4000 Status Log Window opens. The Status Log Window
depicts the status log, reporting the parameters stored in the Unit log.

Figure 8-3:
The PSO 4000 HyperTerminal Status Log Window

Occupancy can be determined either by signal level or by the Address Code received. In Figure 8-3, the
initial occupancy is due to Code A being received, but is later determined to be Code N (no code
received) due the track being shunted.

To print the data displayed on the Log Window, follow the procedure outlined in Section D.1.2.3.

To return to the Main Menu Window, hit the “Esc” key. This will exit the Log Window and return users
to the Main Menu Window.

8.1.2.4 The Monitor Window

NOTE

When calibrated, RX1, RX2, or ISL threshold value is set

to 100.

To select Monitor Window, use the up or down arrows to move to line D – Monitor and hit Enter or
type the letter the letter “D” and the PSO 4000 Monitor Window opens. The Monitor Window depicts
the current event log, reporting the events stored in the unit log. The Monitor Window provides
information in four areas: Signal Level, Inputs, Outputs, and Occupancy.

• Signal Level – Provides the signal level received for the Island (ISL), Receiver 1 (RX1) and Receiver 2
(RX2). The signal level is matched against the calibration threshold stored in NVRAM to determine
track occupancy.
• ISL – 0/9999
• RX1 – 0/9999
• Rx2 – 0/9999
• Inputs – Provides the status of the two VPIs (IN 1 & IN 2) using the following codes:
• D = De-energized
• E = Energized
• Outputs – Provides the status of the three VROs (OUT 1, OUT 2, & OUT 3) using the following
codes:
• D = De-energized
• E = Energized
• Occupancy – Provides the occupancy status of the Island (ISL), Receiver 1 (RX1) and Receiver 2
(RX2) using the following codes:
• O = Occupied
• P = Running Pickup Delay
• U = Unoccupied
To print the data displayed on the Monitor Window, follow the procedure outlined in Section D.1.2.3.

To return to the Main Menu Window, hit the “Esc” key. This will exit the Monitor Window and return
users to the Main Menu Window.

8.1.2.5 Exit the PSO 4000 HyperTerminal Window

To close the PSO 4000 HyperTerminal Window, use the up or down arrows to move to line D – Exit and
hit Enter or type the letter the letter “D” and the PSO 4000 Monitor Window closes.

• Select COMM>UNIT CONNECT. This connects the DT to the PSO Unit.

Figure 8-7:
Connecting the DT to the Unit
• Once the connection is established, the lower right section of the Status Bar states “Connected to
Unit” and “Ready” appears in the center section. The DT is now set to interact with the unit.
